End With a Bang

The first half of season 3 Fear the Walked Dead ended the same way it came in, with a nice double feature. It’s been a help to our struggling opinions of the show. The first two seasons left John & I to wonder if we even wanted to continue watching. But season 3 has brought some interesting characters and some unexpected plots. What it hasn’t done — is made us care.

Right now I care more about Walker’s community than any character or group we’ve seen to date. But these people will not get to be the show’s front-liners. Basically, we are still stuck with Madison’s clan.

This week

The end of episode 8 we saw what looked like Piscatella breaking into the prison and guess what… we were right. I mean come on, it was obvious.

Episode 9 opens with Piscatella coming up behind Blanca in the basement; she’s still stuck in her own boobie trap, set for him. He’s savage in his attack and sends a full blow punch straight to her face, knocking her out.

Studio Updates

In these past few weeks since starting the podcast, we’ve managed to put together this website and another. We’ve packed up our entire studio and moved most of our things into storage. And we’ve set up a home recording studio and a home office.

We have made you all some promises to bring you blog style recaps of the shows that we are talking about on the podcast… I am a little behind on that. But now that the website is good to go, I can forget about all that and get writing!!

Next week we will be finishing up the final 3 episodes of Orange is the New Black, season 5. And now Fear the Walking Dead is over for the mid-season. Married at First Sight has a few weeks left and this is the reunion week for Second Chances. So, we’re going to let the load lighten for a short period so I can catch up and fill in the blanks with recaps.

What’s in the “Shop”

We’re promoting cool fan merchandise from around the web through affiliate marketing.

We’re also inviting independent artists to become vendors with their own special fan creations. Things you won’t find in any store.

If you are already a seller on Etsy, we are pending approval for affiliate marketing. Pending that approval, if you create merchandise related to the topics from our show & blog and would like us to advertise your items for you – you can email us at vendorapplications@randimonium.com.

Thank You

What started off as months of discussing what kind of podcast to do, has turned into a fully-fleshed out project. And it’s been fun a rewarding. Thank you to our listeners!! We’re looking forward to growing this relationship with you all and bringing you new content!

Spoiler Alert

Full Bush, Half Snickers – Tied to the Rails

This week John & I watched episodes 7 & 8 of Orange is the New Black. Here’s my recap and our thoughts.

Inside, the inmates are working together to clean up the prison as their families surround the prison. They watch the pile of flaming snacks outside we saw started last week. And Doggett is met with some skepticism as she begins her “community service”. She makes a batch of “yellow drink” that looks a bit like urine; it’s made by soaking all the yellow candies from the commissary in water, but her peers seem to enjoy.

An angry Leanne squashes Doggett’s good deed by actually urinating in the yellow drink; payback for blowing off her finger has just begun.

It’s as if we’ve gone on a bender…

This week John & I binged on 5 episodes of Orange is the New Black! We haven’t done this much tv watching at once since we watched the entire final season of Bates Motel in 2 days. We also watched ep. 5 of Fear the Walking Dead and I’m bitching about that here.

Picking up where we left off in Season 4, Daya has shot an evil guard. And Taystee and friends seek justice for Poussey. Making matters worse, Caputo has gone on air dismissing the actions of the guard who killed Poussey and never bothers to name her, insinuating a full-out riot. Given the treatment of the inmates since the prison went “for-profit”, it’s certainly warranted. Continue reading OITNB Season 5 Episodes 1-6
